If I'm working on a project and need client approval for steps along the way, how do I send the work to a client using the cloud. I've used YouSendIt.com, and now DropBox, to do this. Is there a "share" feature where I can let the client see only pertinent work and nothing else?
I have been testing this out and what you do is click on share, write in what ever you want and then click share link, then write in what ever you want in the message and type in the email address of who you want to share with. Right now the problem I see with this is that anyone who finds the link can view the file. It seems you can't password protect it. My clients won't like that. Hopefully the changes that are being made will address this issue. But the client no one else can see any of your other files swithout you sharing them.
Also it seems at the moment the share link does not send an email to who you want it to be shared with. I take it this is because they are doing changes and this will be fixed. Here is an example of what I am talking about: https://creative.adobe.com/share/82d9f100-24dd-4f9d-8be9-152dbf867d12
Thanks for the information. I imagine the lights are on all night at Adobe as they prepare to launch CS6, Adobe Cloud Services and all the other stuff going on. I should upload an image and try to share it with myself on an alternate email address just to check it out.
Again, thanks for pointing the way.
Jamalo, Best of luck. Like I said I can't get the share link to send email to the person I want to share with. Hopefully this is because Adobe is in the process of upgrading. If you can get it to work please let me know.
I uploaded an image and then sent a link to another of my emails. Worked fine but seemed a bit klunky at first. I also sent the link to my partner's email but will have to check later to see if she got it.
But to your original point - I like YouSendIt.com because you can track to see if the client actually downloaded the item, password protection, even encryption if thats an issue. I think for most projects where a NDA isn't involved, the Adobe Cloud can work fine, however.
After reading your post I just tried the email in share link and it now works. I would also like to be able to get an email informing me when a client makes a comment. I guess we will just have to wait and see how all this really works once the new creative cloud is released. I don't know how much longer I can wait in making my decision on what cloud service to use.
I signed up for the cloud. I have uploaded files into a collection. Cannot figure out where the share link is. Also is this cloud different from the Carousel? I don't see files I shared with Revel.
I forgot to mention that I wanted to share the collection. I can share individual pictures but can't figure out how to share the collection
Sharing a collection is not yet available.
Paula, To share the file you have to open it online. And it is my understanding some file formats are not yet supported. All this will change when the new creative cloud is launched. Anyway if you can click on the file and it opens. To the right will be a link called share options. Click on that then click on share and the rest will be obvious. Hope this helps but remember it is going to be different once the new creative cloud is launched.

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Trinitarian theology and the image of God are important, non-essentialist resources to help us think about the distinct place of humanity in creation.
Over the last two weeks, the Forum has explored the imago Dei from various perspectives. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How could humans have evolved and still be created in the ' Image of God'? written by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
My students twinge and recoil a bit at the thought that persons with disabilities can be made in God's image. "They just don't look like it," they say, zeroing in on what is physically seen.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
I wish to question whether or not it is possible for the image of God to be produced through the evolutionary process apart from the special intervention of God.
When we get stuck on the idea of having biological ancestors, we can miss the point that being made in the image of God is a relational quality, not a biological trait. We can communicate and have a relationship with God, and we can reflect his character and represent him to the rest of creation.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Wednesday afternoon, just after they convicted Mark Strong on 13 counts of promoting and conspiring to promote prostitution, members of the most watched jury in Maine's recent history took a poll on what, if anything, they wanted to say to the media horde waiting outside.
To a man and woman, they voted to keep their mouths shut.
Can you blame them?
"I never argue with a jury," observed a subdued defense attorney Dan Lilley, moments after the seven male and five female jurors quickly exited the York County Courthouse. "It's a useless exercise."
Indeed. And in this case, it underscores the beauty of our judicial system: When it's all said and done, the people who say the least are the ones whose opinions matter most.
You couldn't watch the first (and hopefully the last) trial stemming from the Kennebunk Zumba Scandal without wondering how it must have felt to sit in that jury box, day after eye-popping day, through a proceeding that lasted longer than most murder trials.
To wit: One day, jurors spent almost an hour watching video -- on a big screen, no less -- of alleged Zumba madame Alexis Wright performing a variety of sexual acts with one of her countless "johns."
As Portland Press Herald staffer Scott Dolan reported, "Some (jurors) frowned, one rocked in his chair and another looked down and away from the screen for short periods before looking back at the screen."
To wit: While the jurors watched this state's "exhibit," all eyes in the courtroom -- the judge, the attorneys for both sides, the rows of media types -- were on them.
"I would look over and they'd be embarrassed," Lilley said in an interview Thursday. "So I didn't look over anymore because I didn't want them to feel bad."
To wit: Attached to the main prostitution saga was a salacious side plot about an affair between the lead Kennebunk police investigator in the case and her superior officer, who no longer works for the department.
So tangled did this web become that at one point Lilley considered injecting a little comic relief by invoking Aretha Franklin's 1985 hit album "Who's Zoomin' Who?" (In the end -- thank God for small favors -- he thought better of it.)
To wit: Yet another sidetrack involved the now-infamous pizza shop manager who recalled feeling "really awkward" the day he went to Wright's home to deliver spaghetti and meatballs.
With no warning whatsoever, the pizza man recalled, Wright dropped the towel covering her otherwise naked body and then inexplicably gave him a $30-plus tip. (The tip, he testified, "made my day.")
We could go on -- the confiscated condoms, the four bottles of baby oil, the tube of Astroglide -- but you get the point. If ever there was a jury suffering from evidentiary overload, it had to be this one.
And that was just the tawdry stuff.
Even as they sifted through 100 or so X-rated video-screen grabs that Strong collected from his faraway hometown of Thomaston, the jurors had to weigh two very different theories of what was going on here.
According to Deputy District Attorney Justina McGettigan, Strong and Wright had what was unquestionably a business relationship -- from Strong's signature on Wright's Zumba studio lease to the 21,000 text messages the two exchanged from February 2010 to February 2102. (That's 28 texts per day, seven days per week, 52 weeks per year.)
Lilley, on the other hand, tried to spin a tale of a hapless "middle-aged man infatuated with a young woman -- and he'll do anything for her. He doesn't even know where the line is he's stepping over."
(Continued on page 2)

What's New
March 13, 2014 - Medi-Cal Incentives to Quit Smoking Project
There are currently about 3.7 million smokers in California - and approximately 700,000 are Medi-Cal members. From our perspective at First 5 Alameda County, this is especially tragic as studies show that children exposed to secondhand smoke have more breathing problems, earaches and colds, and secondhand smoke can trigger asthma episodes as well as increase the severity of attacks.

COSI meeting consists of topics that range from theoretical to experimental demonstration and verification of the latest advances in computation imaging research. This meeting covers subject matter in fundamental physics, numerical methods and physical hardware that has led to significant improvements in the fields of imaging and sensing for medical, defense, homeland security, inspection, testing applications.
COSI is an important discipline being applied to solve numerous problems in modern optics and the techniques developed in this field have already been incorporated in to numerous commercial products. This meeting places particular emphasis on integrated analysis of physical layer measurement and digital layer processing. In contrast with the conventional model of a "digital image" as simply a discretely sampled version of an analog image, COSI considers advanced opportunities for image data coding and decoding in optical, electronic and software layers.

Brian Urlacher revolutionized the middle linebacker position in the NFL.
Yeah, he was that good, that rare an athlete. He was a special talent with a uncommon combination of size and speed. At 6 foot 4 and 250-plus pounds Urlacher had the footwork and change-of-direction skills of a defensive back.
Run and hit. Track the ball. Get to the quarterback. Then do it again the next Sunday for more than a decade in the toughest league going.
Urlacher played in the middle of the 4-3 front for both Dick Jauron and Lovie Smith, but I could see him with his hand on the ground as a rush end or as an outside linebacker in the 3-4. Heck, you even could align him as some sort of "rover" in a creative scheme if you really wanted.
Even going back to last year — Urlacher's 13th as a pro — when a bum knee, ailing hamstring and father time wore down his body, there were still glimpses of the skill set that once took over the NFL.
Sure, he didn't have the same burst to the ball or the lateral ability that could control the front seven of the defense with his pursuit to the sidelines. But his mere presence in the middle of the Cover-2 scheme played a role in the Bears' defensive success when he was on the field.
You see, the Bears didn't play a two-deep coverage with Urlacher under Smith. Nah. With No. 54 in the middle of the field, they played a three-deep coverage because of his range and ability to run.
Opposing offenses tried to get creative over the years by aligning speed on the inside to try to break the zone look. But with Urlacher there, the ball would just have to go underneath — check it down to the flat and try again next time.
I came into the league in the same draft as Urlacher in 2000 and remember watching his growth in the film room from athlete, to linebacker to one of the best in the NFL.
You had the Bears on the schedule? Then you had to deal with Urlacher. This was his team, his city. And everyone knew it.
Urlacher was the topic of discussion on the practice field, in the lunchroom at the facility or at a post-practice weight room session. It didn't matter. When you had to face the Bears, he was the one player you constantly talked about.
Quarterbacks I played with knew they had to adjust their own game plan or script. You couldn't just toss the ball down the middle of the field or turn a blind eye to where Urlacher was in his pre-snap alignment.
As a linebacker that could run with a wide receiver or put a helmet under the chin of the quarterback, Urlacher forced the opposition to change the way they approached the Bears.
I know the numbers: 1,200-plus tackles, 411/2 sacks and 22 interceptions. That's Hall of Fame stuff when you add in the Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2000, the Defensive Player of the Year award in 2005 and the eight — yes, eight — Pro Bowl nods.
And let's not forget just how tough Urlacher was. To play 13 years in the NFL at a violent position that beats you down, he answered the call repeatedly and won the respect of players and coaches across the NFL.
That's a big part of defining Urlacher's career from my perspective.
Maybe Urlacher's phone would have started to ring come August when injuries force depth charts to be adjusted. And maybe he had another 100 tackles left in that beat-up body of his.
But let's not worry about that anymore. Come 2018, I expect both Urlacher and former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis to walk into the Canton, Ohio, shrine together as two of the greatest players at their position. That's where they belong.
And from one former player to another, I would tell Brian Urlacher that I enjoyed watching him play the game. A true pro on the field who loved to compete.
Man, he was special.

TELLURIDE – After the Telluride Town Council granted several Land Use Code waiver requests at it's meeting on Tuesday, a new and more feasible Clark's Market expansion is in the works.
Members of council granted three LUC waiver requests on Tuesday to allow a grocery store by right and to exceed the 15 percent floor-area limitation, to increase the maximum site coverage allowed from 38 percent to 53.3 percent, and to exceed the 10 percent fee-in-lieu payment by making a full cash-in-lieu payment of affordable housing mitigation.
While owner Tom Clark has an approval in place for a much larger expansion of the market located at 700 W. Colorado Ave., he told council that because the economic climate has shifted, he's had to reconsider the expansion and go in a more feasible direction.
"I want to mention that this is a very difficult decision to make," Clark said. "We have invested a tremendous amount on the project but [found out] it wasn't feasible. It is important that we do something in this community."
Tuesday's waiver approval is one of the initial steps Clark must take in seeking ultimate approval of the newly-planned expansion. He must now get approvals from the Historic and Architectural Review Commission and final approval from Town Council.
If all goes as planned in the approval process, Clark says he hopes to open the expanded market by Christmas 2013.
Telluride's emergency ordinance banning open fires, fireworks and the restriction of smoking within town limits remains in place after the Telluride Town Council decided to wait until next month to approve a second reading of an ordinance that would repeal the restrictions.
The emergency ordinance was enacted just before the Fourth of July holiday when drought conditions in Telluride were at it's most severe point of the summer.
A second reading of an ordinance that would repeal the fire ban was before council on Tuesday but with an expected influx of visitors coming for the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival, council ultimately decided to wait until next month to repeal the fire ban.
"I am concerned about [repealing] this quickly," Councilor Thom Carnevale said. "Conditions are stable but I think we are expecting a large influx of people in September and I don't see any harm in doing this after that."
After discussing the issue, council agreed with Carnevale. One of the main concerns council had was if a fire were to be sparked, the town's ability to fight a wildlife in the midst of a water shortage is limited.
The fire ban also bans the use of charcoal-fired grills.

For 365 days I'm going to wear no shoes to collecting new shoes and raising money to buy shoes for Children who have never had the luxury of owning a pair. www.facebook.com/noshoesforayearRead more
Richard Hudgins is asking for your help with No Shoes For A Year.
I have a choice. They don't.
(If you do not have or want to use a pay pal account, please use the buy as guest option in the "sign in" screen to use any major credit card. Thank you.)
52 Shoes DONATED!
I'm going to wear #NoShoesForAYear to collect shoes and raise money and awareness to help buy shoes for children who don't have the luxury.
Update January 22, 2012: I've recently hooked up with a non-profit organization that resides in Louisville KY, but also lives in Kenya called Nasha Ministries, a New Mission Systems International affiliate. They address the needs of needy and orphaned street children and families who have been subjected to homelessness, family abuse, prostitution, etc in Narok, Kenya. One of the things that Nasha Ministries is involved in is getting these children in schools and providing them with shelter and education. The problem is is they have to pay for EVERYTHING. bedding, uniforms, and one of the most important and expensive item, shoes. Without shoes they can't attend school and get the education that they need and they'll be put back on the streets without a chance to change their lives.
At the end of the year, I'm going to personally take the money I raise to Narok, Kenya with Nasha Ministries and buy the shoes that these children need. In turn it will boost Naroks economy along with making sure we get the RIGHT style and stitch of shoe that these kids need. They have a much different preference that we do here in the states when it comes to shoe needs. Also it's a FORTUNE to ship shoes.
The new shoes that I collect will go towards children here in the U.S. that can't afford them. In Kentucky, where I'm from, I've read the towns near the Appalachian Mountains have a big problem with their children not having shoes when they should for school and safety. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
For more facts about the problems these children face without shoes, you can visit souls4soles.org/why-shoes
If you would like to donate a new pair of children's shoes you can do so at:

Curfew at select San Antonio parks will be lifted Thursday night until Easter Sunday, Parks and Recreation officials announced.
The department says the park curfew will be lifted beginning at 11 p.m. on Thursday, March 28, and will resume at 11 p.m. on Easter Sunday, March 31.
Some campers were already marking spots on trees and setting up tents by Thursday morning.
"This is our first year doing this, and it's exciting. We picked this location, because I like the river back there, and there's like a little trail for the kids," one camper said. "We figured we might as well try it here, and see if we like camping before we actually go to a primitive site and actually do it."
In addition, the department would like to remind citizens that recycling bins are available in the parks and should be used for plastic bottles and cans.
No glass containers are allowed. The department says food-contaminated waste should be disposed of in trash cans.
Citizens will be allowed to camp overnight at these parks:
- Brackenridge Park, 3700 N. St. Mary's (excludes the Brackenridge parking facility)
- Eisenhower, 19399 N.W. Military Highway
- J Street, 3500 J Street
- Miller's Pond, 6175 Old Pearsall Rd.
- McAllister Park, 13102 Jones Maltsberger
- Olmos, 600 Devine Rd. (allowed only in Devine Road picnic area)
- O.P. Schnabel, 9606 Bandera Rd.
- Roosevelt, 331 Roosevelt Ave.
- San Pedro, 1315 San Pedro Ave.
- Southside Lions, 3100 Hiawatha
- Southside Lions East, 3900 Pecan Valley
- Woodlawn Lake Park, 1103 Cincinnati (excludes the Island House and gym areas)
According to the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department, the exemption does not affect the youth curfew, which will remain in effect.

Research at Library and Archives Canada
A few references to individual clergy can be found in the ARCHIVED - General Inventory database. Search by a person's name. Library and Archives Canada also holds the following fonds:
These collections contain records of the Church of England's missionary societies operating in Canada between 1699 and 1951. Consult the ARCHIVED - General Inventory database.
Title: "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel"
Research in Other Institutions
Most records relating to clergy are held by Church and Religious Archives.
Research in Published Sources
Many Local Histories provide information and biographical notes on local clergy and, people born in a specific locality who choose to join a religious order. Many books provide biographical notes according to the religious denomination.
The following books include entries for each minister or priest, with the dates and places of the missions, circuits or parishes to which they were appointed.
Dictionnaire biographique du clergé canadien-français, by J.-B.-A. Allaire, 1908-1934.
Répertoire général du clergé canadien : par ordre chronologique, depuis la fondation de la colonie jusqu'à nos jours, by Cyprien Tanguay, 1868.
The Classified digest of the records of the Society for the Propagation of the Bible in Foreign Parts, 1701-1892. Includes brief entries on missionaries serving with that organization.
Cyclopaedia of Methodism in Canada (up to 1880), by George H.Cornish, ca. 2001.
Douglas Walkington has published similar directories for several religious denominations. Search AMICUS by entering "Walkington Douglas" in the Name Browse field. You will find results such as:
The Church of England has published the annual Crockford's Clerical Directory since 1858. Those volumes include biographical information about Anglican ministers serving worldwide. Library and Archives Canada holds microfilm and paper copies for most years.

England: Land of rain and Reason masterclasses!posted by Mattias Häggström Gerdt 2012-07-23 at 16:12
Last week me and Gary Bromham went out on the road to do a couple of masterclasses with Dawsons. We visited Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Chester - and it was good fun. Here are a couple of pics:
I might not have worked with Björk and Sheryl Crow like Gary but may name was also in print!
Gary letting the people of Chester in on the secrets of the fine art of mixing.
In Leeds there was a very mysterious door that I did not dare open...
In Manchester we dropped by Liam at Cartec Audio at his workshop. He makes some amazing hardware, including this "Pultec-style" EQ.
I also had a good time blasting some music through Balance to different monitors. Things got loud.
Good crowd in Manchester!

Being a company with a lot of (awesome) users, we sometimes get a letter or package sent to us. This is, of course, really cool! Recently we got a package from Reason user Matt Campbell with his freshly pressed album "Have a Banana" on 12" vinyl.
Very cool! Thanks a lot Matt!
Pencil Reason!posted by Kalle Paulsson 2012-06-27 at 16:25
So after the WWDC announcements, Tage jokingly said that Reason would look like a pencil on the new Retina displays. No one was sure what this actually meant, but it kind of stuck and Pencil Reason is now an official word here at the offices.
I ordered a Retina MacBook Pro for myself right after the keynote, and yesterday it arrived! Unboxing it was a nice experience, as always with Apple products. Yes, I'm a fanboy. I tweeted about it, here's the pictures!
It's quite thin!
The footprint is a little bit smaller than the regular MBP.
I was momentarily confused by the misssing power button. Can you spot it?
And today I enabled the full 2880x1800 and tested the real Pencil Reason for the first time! Look at that menu bar, it's like a pencil! Hmm.
Edit: User Koshdukai asked for a full mixer bonanza screenshot. Here it is. Count the knobs!

WWDC 2012posted by Marcus Zetterquist 2012-06-17 at 19:40
Propellerheads at WWDC 2012!
Finn, Fredrik and I went to WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) in San Francisco this year!
It turns out there is a long tradition of lining up outside the convention center in the middle of the night so you can get in to the key note that kicks off the conference. Apple staff is handing out soup etc. during the night.
When we got there at 9am there was a queue around the block. Police officers were watching over things to prevent a large scale geek-stompede.
Finn had a slight problem changing the name name on his badge from "Finn Nathorst Boos", because Ernst had paid his ticket(?).
From my CTO perspective one of the biggest news from the key note was retina Macs. I've been waiting for high-resolution screens to appear for a long time and it looks fantastic, but supporting it properly will require a lot of work for us and all other Mac developers.
The conference was extremely well organized and relaxed with about 100 sessions and labs on iOS and OS X development.
It was kind of ironic that there was the same number of restrooms for men and women.
We got to hang out with a lot of cool people, both old and new friends!
Tuesday afternoon Ryan took us to Lucas Arts and ILM for a tour! His brother works at Lucas Arts! I got to touch the real R2D2!
Thursday night was the WWDC bash with food and drinks and a band playing. The singer called it a sausage party :-)

Release is upon us!
We've been working hard, some of us have hardly left the office, but I feel it all paid off. Reason 6.5, Essentials 1.5 and Rack Extensions are alive and kicking! It's great to hear what you think and we're trying to keep up with all feedback and questions. At the same time this is also when we can finally exhale and sit down for a while. With champagne. Of course.

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too."
-David Bowie
Well, finally we're here with support for external companies to add their magic to the rack. I know a lof of people have been requesting VST / AU support in Reason. We've been reluctant to add that as you might have noticed. I think that the current solution with Rack Extensions is a far superior user experience and we are very very happy, tired but happy.
Propellerhead Goes Hollywoodposted by Ryan Harlin 2012-06-11 at 17:09
I've arrived in Los Angeles for a whirlwind one day movie production. I'll be meeting up with a long-time Propellerhead friend for his starring role, too. I'm very glad that my normal travel filming rig has been carefully crafted to be much smaller than this. If I traveled around doing artist feature interviews with these guys, I'd give up half-way through the trip. Not shown here is the quadruple volume of stuff that goes into supporting and packaging this rig!!
England Masterclassesposted by Mattias Häggström Gerdt 2012-06-01 at 10:27
So I recently came back from doing a couple of producer materclass events in England with mix engineer (and good friend) Gary Bromham. I really do enjoy going over to England too, all the people are nice, the curry is delicious and the real ale is flowing! It's also been particularly fun to show Pulsar to a gasping audience for the first time - that LFO sure is something!
Here are two pictures from the event in Newcastle and at Production Room, Leeds:
Thanks to everyone that came out to see us! :)
So much coffee, so little timeposted by Tage Widsell 2012-05-23 at 10:15
So it's no secret we are in beta testing, and beta testing means a lot of work and a lot of work means lots of coffee, but srlsy Peter.
Farewell to Adam Yauchposted by Tage Widsell 2012-05-04 at 23:19
I'm sad to hear of Adam Yauch's passing after a long struggle with cancer. Calling Adam a friend or even acquaintance would be a long stretch, but he was the first person in the Beastie Boys camp we were in contact with.
I remember how he first got in touch with us. Many years ago, he needed help with some weird installation problem and emailed us. Using a cluster of names and aliases for ordering, registering and contacting us, my fraudar went off and I sent him a barrage of questions about what I believed was a credit card fraud attempt.
I remember the reply from him: "Ok, sorry for the confusion. I'm Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys". It turned out that he, for obvious reasons, rarely used his own name online. All was well.
He stayed in touch every now and then for a few years, usually with some odd tech problem like when the custom ProTools keyboard he used for his studio machine didn't have the needed CD eject key that would let you switch between the three needed CDs during installation of Reason 3. Or it could be a more rock star-style problem: "Install discs in Miami, license in New York, recording in LA - what do I do?". He was always friendly, always cool and with no sense for time zone differences at all which made for some interesting night time conversations.
Well Adam, It's time to pass the mic.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Personalizing this product was simple and the review team does a great job reformatting. I didn't have three courses and they did a great job re-spacing the entire menu. The menus arrived a couple days after I gave the final okay for them to be printed and they look exactly like what was shown on my iPad. The paper quality is great too, thick and sturdy. I've used both Wedding Paper Divas and Paper Style throughout my engagement and have to say I could NOT recommend Paper Style because of the paper they use. Way to thin and flimsy. Wedding Paper Divas has consistently provided me with a wonderful product. So far I've ordered our Save the Dates, one of our showers, invitations, and menu cards. Looking forward to the Thank You cards."
"The option to choose a color is a great feature. What I loved most was the ability to change the format. You can add or remove a course with no problems. Also, if you have more to write in the allotted space...DON'T worry! Divas' will fix it and make it work!!"
"We transformed the menu card into an invitation insert and added the bridal party, flower girls, and reception information. It turned out better than we expected. We chose this in purple, along with the invitation and response card."
"Loved the ability to custom design this one. The designer made room to accommodate our 'stations of food' for the menu printing. Fonts were great. Colors were stunning. Delivery and processing and proofing were done nicely. Good money spent."
"We are having a nautical wedding in summer and chose navy blue for this menu card. Exquisite, heavy card stock, looks so much more professional than what you can print on your own computer. Suggestion - if you are having a buffet like we are, you can change the titles of the courses to read other things. For instance, we broke it down as Chilled Hors D'ouevres, Hot Hors D'ouevres, Entree and Dessert. You can play around with the titles until you get it to reflect the meal you are serving. Wish I'd ordered more!"

What do college football's Tim Tebow and Bobby Bowden have in common with businessman Wayne Huizenga and Everglades demolisher Hamilton Disston?
They've all recently been named "Great Floridians," what is supposed to be a high honor, bestowed upon people "who have made major contributions to the progress and welfare of this state."
That's what it says in the statute books.
But laws are open to interpretation, and Florida has interpreted this one to mean "people who are famous for any reason and/or people the governor would like to flatter."
Tebow is a perfect example. He was a Heisman Trophy winner with a storied college career and an unremarkable pro career so far. But former Gator quarterback Danny Wuerffel and former head coach Steve Spurrier also won Heismans, and they're not on the list.
Tebow is often lauded for his charity work, but I can think of lots of people (Wuerffel, again) who devote themselves to the neediest among us.
In other words, the list of Great Floridians includes a number of "pretty good Floridians" (like Toni Jennings),"rich and politically connected Floridians" (like Huizenga, a big donor to Gov. Rick Scott's political committee), and "who cares about the environment Floridians" (like Disston, who dreamed of draining the Everglades).
How else do you end up with a brutal killer (Pedro Menéndez de Avilés), one of Florida's least memorable governors (Bob Martinez), and a big-time lobbyist (Jim Smith) making the roll call?
Menendez de Avilés is credited with founding St. Augustine. A big deal, yes, but you have to gloss over his butchering of French settlers, if want to include him on what should be an exclusive list of Great Floridians.
Martinez was a one-term governor credited with a series of environmental achievements. He's also known as the only governor to help hard-core rap record sales by trying to prosecute 2 Live Crew for obscenity.
Drawing a blank on Smith? I don't blame you. The career politician-turned-lobbyist is mostly known to Tallahassee insiders. He may be a great guy, but a Great Floridian?
I'm not the only one who thinks the list has become, a little, well, pedestrian.
Secretary of State Ken Detzner, who culls through Great Floridian nominations, said as much.
At a meeting last year Detzner hoped aloud that the governor, cabinet members and House and Senate leaders would stop making so many nominations so the list would have "more meaning," according to minutes from a meeting about the program in October.
No such luck, Mr. Secretary. Two people have already been named this year and more are expected to be announced soon.
Scott has taken a particular liking to the program, honoring 19 recipients since he became governor in 2011 — more than his predecessor Charlie Crist honored in four years and more than Jeb Bush honored in eight years.
And why not? Scott is a wildly unpopular governor headed into a re-election campaign. There is no downside to a photo op with the wildly popular Tebow.
There are a number of deserving people on the list. People like Gov. LeRoy Collins, a leader in both education and Civil Rights and the first person named as a "Great Floridian." And Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the great Everglades crusader who spent much of her life trying to undo the damage done by fellow lister Disston.
Harry T. Moore. Zora Neale Hurston. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Lawton Chiles.
They're all part of the exclusive club of people who changed Florida for the better.
But lately the bar hasn't been quite so high.
Who's next? Carrot Top?

You watch your diet, take up jogging, and don't even look at pictures of high-fat goodies. After a month, you hop on the scale and find you've lost a whopping three pounds.
It's enough to make a grown person cry. But Christine Jagerson, a registered dietitian in St. Paul, Minn. recently conducted a study with people with type 2 diabetes to prove that what the scale says isn't always a good measure of health.
In Jagerson's report, she writes, "Many clients have been led to believe that the scale, which measures a person's total body weight (muscles, organs, bones, and body fluids) is an indicator of good health. However, the scale cannot differentiate between fat pounds and muscle pounds...It is the percentage of fat tissue in the body rather than the scale weight that determines good health and physical fitness."
In her study, the participants were weighed and measured around their hips and waists. They then followed individualized meal plans, exercised, and monitored their blood glucose. After three months, they were weighed and measured again. Fourteen of the 19 participants had a reduction in weight, and 12 of those 14 had a decreased hip measurement. Three of the 19 gained weight, but of those three, two had a reduction in waist size and one decreased around the hips.
Jagerson hopes the study will help doctors, educators, and people with diabetes understand that there is more to fitness than we have been led to believe. Although a high number on the scale isn't desirable, a low number doesn't necessary mean you're in good shape. Jagerson writes, "Although scale weight is an almost universal practice, it is not critical to the achievement of the objectives of diabetes management."
This research was presented at the 22nd Annual Meeting and Educational Program of the AADE in Boston, August 1995.

Larry King's Dictator Trilogy – Part I: The Malignant Narcissism of Hugo Chavez
Posted By Karen Northon On October 5, 2009 @ 8:54 pm In NewsReal Blog | No Comments
In Hollywood, it all comes down to how well you can deliver a line, which is perhaps why so many in the land of make-believe adore the dictatorial drama queen Hugo Chavez. The whole world truly is a stage. The man is a compelling orator to those whose ideological cataracts prevent them from seeing through Chavez's persuasive rhetoric to the underlying persecution complex that directs his every move.
Hollywood is flooded with such visually-impaired, self-proclaimed foreign policy experts who believe Chavez just wants to hold hands with everyone and sing We Are the World. Socialist-dictator groupie Sean Penn spent some quality time with Chavez in 2007 and again in 2008, calling him "a fascinating guy." In Penn's defense, I will admit I find documentaries about serial killers fascinating – though I don't think I'd care to spend time cozying up with one and waxing intellectual about the politics of their brutality.
Then we have everyone's favorite conspiracy-theory movie director, Oliver Stone, who undoubtedly steps up the controversial aspect of his projects as he feels the limelight fading on him. (By the way, Oliver – Girl Scout cookie sales funding coup to oust Castro? Could be.)
Stone recently premiered his poor-misunderstood-dictator commumentary about Chavez, remarking of the Venezuelan dictator, "[he] is an extremely dynamic and charismatic figure. He's open and warmhearted and big, and a fascinating character."
Yes. Fascinating. Got that.
It gets better/worse. Rumor has it former rocker and former(?) drug addict Courtney Love has a crush on the big, cuddly socialist dictator. She thinks he's a "sexy dawg." Now THAT is your brain on drugs.
Beyond the bizarro adoration of the Hollywood subculture, Chavez made an appearance on Larry King Live while in New York City for last month's meeting of the U.N. General Assembly – kicking off King's dictator trifecta that included interviews with Chavez's BSFs (Best Socialist Friends) Muammar Qadhafi and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Once again, Chavez performed his dictator Two-Step, answering every question with a jab at U.S. foreign policy. He accuses the United States of backing a coup d'état to oust him, apparently having forgotten that he had organized and attempted a military coup to overthrow the Venezuelan government in 1992.
Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?
There is no doubt – Chavez is a shrewd strategist. He understands that more power and influence are gained by appealing to the poor, restless masses and celebrities. And he knows just how to manipulate them into unquestioning devotion to him. As for world leaders, Chavez has extended his unwavering loyalty and support to every dictator and despot who presents any sort of threat to the United States.
And to the rest of the world, the peace-loving Chavez slings insults, openly calling George W. Bush a "donkey" and "the devil," Condoleezza Rice an "illiterate," former Mexican President Vicente Fox a "lapdog of imperialism," Peruvian President Alan Garcia a "rotten thief" and a "crybaby." More recently, he called President Obama an "ignoramus" and said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is "just lost." My six-year-old could explain to him why he's not making many friends.
Of his frequent verbal attacks against the United States, Jerrold M. Post, Director of the Political Psychology Program at George Washington University, says "his [Chavez's] outrageous and confrontational rhetoric" increases in frequency and rancor "during times of internal instability" in his home country, and when he feels he's put on the defensive.
Post wrote of Chavez in a 2007 analytical report for the U.S. Air Force Counterproliferation Center:
"Chavez is an authoritarian narcissistic leader who has dreams of glory, and can be overly sensitive to criticism. The arrogant certainty conveyed in his public pronouncements is very appealing to his followers. But under this grandiose facade, as is typical with narcissistic personalities, is extreme insecurity. When under stress, his defiance becomes more pronounced, as does his tendency to blame others for his own shortcomings."
Chavez is like the boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse you just couldn't confront, because as soon as you questioned or expressed negative feelings about something they did or said, they turned it back on you – questioning, in that defensive, incredulous tone, something you did x number of years ago that they didn't like.
Despite his appeal to the impoverished of Venezuela, his fiscal policy has had a devastating effect on his country's economy – though he finds ways to blame the United States for that as well, citing the North American Free Trade Agreement or some other policy of which he was not key in devising.
If failing economic policy doesn't bring about his fall from power, his attempts to squash dissent may. Chavez recently ordered the permanent closing of 29 more radio stations that have been critical of his administration. And in response to a student protest/hunger strike, Chavez ordered the imprisonment of a 22-year-old college student for "attempting to incite civil war."
In an editorial last month for The Huffington Post, Robert Amsterdam (an international Lawyer on emerging markets, politics of business, and rule of law) wrote:
"…the existence of more than 50 hunger striking students on the steps of the OAS [Organization of American States] headquarters [in Caracas] blows the smoke off the myth that Chávez is still some sort of social democrat who cares about his people."
The question is, how long will it take for his base supporters to see Hugo Chavez for what he is – a malignant narcissist clinging to power?
